The answer is very simple, God wants me to. I have no idea why, but I am more certain today than I was when the whole process started last spring. The whole thing seems like a dream. It doesn't seem real yet. I mean, I've never been out of the country. I'm leaving for 3 months. Leaving my family behind and going where communication may not be so easy. I have my first ever passport, so cool. I have shots, not so cool. Airfare has been paid for (Thanks to God and some really nice IWU Alumni). I've even bought a pair of Keen sandals, which I have been told is the only shoes that will do the job.
I have met all the other students going. They are an awesome group of young adults. I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. Other than our fearless leaders, Dr. Garner and his wife, I am the only nontraditional student going. We have been meeting for prayer together, which has been the greatest thing ever.
More later.
